I really enjoyed this story. I never thought I would like Zorus but I really did! Plus I liked Charlie a lot.
In the past, Zorus was a earther hating jackass. Even in this book, he was a dick in the beginning, but certainly not cruel.
Charlie was smart and got screwed over by her brother a few too many times. Not to mention her ex! But luckily Zorus saved her!
Zorus' son? Yep - NO! I talk about that in the spoiler.
This was a good addition to the series. I think these books have gotten stronger over time. There was some drama, action and hot sex. Plus Zorus fell HARD which was fun to see. And he sees the stupidity of the laws he helped create that hurt human mates.
Safety Gang (view spoiler)[ Breeding pact - no (he is sterile) OW tries to offer herself to him for a favor. Goes so far as to strip naked. He says no many times and really means it. But this is what he did in the past so she does not accept a simple no. Biggest issue - his earther hating son almost (and I mean as close to almost as you can get) rapes and sodomizes Charlie because he thinks Zorus has kept her to torture. I have a HUGE problem with the general lack of repercussions against him. Zorus was angry - yes - but he should have KILLED him! But both he and Charlie feel guilty because it was his son. Seriously?!

Sweet second chance romance. Pretty short, did not really inspire strong feelings in me either way. When I finished my first thought was...meh, it wasSweet second chance romance. Pretty short, did not really inspire strong feelings in me either way. When I finished my first thought was...meh, it was ok. Not remarkable. Some good grovel but hero was an idiot before. Heroine was sweet and not a total pushover. Very safe read.

This was a less than ok edition to the series. Nothing horrible except it totally lacked in romance and was boring! I did not like either MC.2.5 stars
This was a less than ok edition to the series. Nothing horrible except it totally lacked in romance and was boring! I did not like either MC. They basically fucked each other for the heck of it. No friednship, no relationship. No unbelievable sexual tension. Or desire. When he decided to keep her...color me shocked. Why? Neither seemed to give a shit.

Poor Coal. We met him in Steel's book and talk about getting screwed! Coal deserved something good. And Jill was a sweet woman who was trying to surviPoor Coal. We met him in Steel's book and talk about getting screwed! Coal deserved something good. And Jill was a sweet woman who was trying to survive a pretty shitty life.
Their relationship started a bit odd - to say the least! But I appreciated all that Coal was trying to do for her.
I loved her androids.
Rune was hilarious!
Overall, this was the easiest read since the hero was not a dick and he really kicks ass for her. Plus Jill was sweet and smart and tough.
Safety Gang (view spoiler)[ Coal is NOT in a breeding pact - thank goodness! But he has been used and abused (raped) for years by cyborg woman so he does have 8 (I think) kids out there Jill had an abusive husband

This was hard to rate. Pretty contrived plot and it would have been ok. But the whole town and his mom? They bugged me. But the reason this could not This was hard to rate. Pretty contrived plot and it would have been ok. But the whole town and his mom? They bugged me. But the reason this could not be higher than a four star was the hero. He was not alpha. He was more silent than not. And frankly I found him a bit of a doormat. Never have I ever written that about a male MC!!!
It was not bad, just not my thing. And I normally like this author. ...more

Honestly it was a little boring. I just wasn't feeling it. I think their time stuck together on the boat is what did not work for me. Outside of thereHonestly it was a little boring. I just wasn't feeling it. I think their time stuck together on the boat is what did not work for me. Outside of there there was a lot of action and the big reveal on who Charlie really was. It might be a 3.5. It just wasn't as awesome a connection between the MCs as we felt in the original series....more

This was a better than average shorter romantic suspense. I am still not really clear about what happened that made them stop talking (before book started). But it was engaging. Easy saturday afternoon read.
I am torn over book two. Not sure I am really bought into the next couple. Hmmm. But I hate skipping books in a series!...more
